As the name suggests, the Recycle Art Apartment has been decorated and furnished with recycled and re-used materials, that have been designed into the apartment in artful way. It brings together a wealth of surprising materials. The bedroom design incorporates a chestnut wooden bed mixed with 18th century carved posts from India. The bathroom has a sink made from an old wine press and the floor is made of slices of pine wood mixed with re-used wine bottle tops. The living tops it off with the sofa made from recycled jeans and in the kitchen a surfboard acts one of the kitchen shelves. There is a lot more but best to come and see it for yourself. The living area contains a comfy, bespoke sofa made of re-used jeans situated near the cozy wood-burner. A tiny oven built into the stove means that, on a cold day, you could even make a fire and cook a cake, should the mood take you. The room was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and the bed was very comfortable. On the other side we have a tiled outside area - for extra sun exposure in the morning and on windy days. Through this side you can also access your vehicle's parking area, located just 30 meters away from the apartment, at the end of a wide, slate-paved path. Electricity, water and gas are included in the price; you will only pay for wood in the winter if you choose to make a fire. The building is centrally heated. For guests with children we can provide cots for the bedroom. Younger children can sleep on the couch or on an extra bed in the living room. The land and river side are available as well as are our animals. On top of it all we have a bio-dynamic farm going on that you can visit and enjoy and buy its produced and home made products like jam and such. We have many guest services to offer such as surf lessons, bike rental, yoga and meditation classes, donkey touring and much more. Or take a refreshing dive in the river! The hotel is located in the heart of Odeceixe, just a short walk from the town center. During the day and especially at night it is so quiet you can hear a pin drop, the nocturnal animals sing their songs and the stream that divides the Algarve and the Alentejo trickles endlessly over the land. Apart from our houses that are built as ecologically as possible we have a beautiful bio-dynamic garden that produces lovely food for you to enjoy. Great walks and strolls by the river stream can be undertaken. If you want some more movement but not too much you can take a bike, walk or drive to Odeceixe, a little sleepy town where time has stood still. Around the area traditionalism is very tangible, agriculture and fishery are one of the main activities. An area where donkeys are still plowing the fields and the fish is served straight from the boat onto your plate. Odeceixe Beach is a 1st price winning beach in the huge Natural Park that surrounds it. The beach is great for surfing, body boarding and sunbathing. It lends itself to playing lots of games and because of its width during tide it's almost a round beach. The stream that runs over our land flows into the sea. At the river side the ocean's waves are canceled out and harnesses great opportunity for families with smaller kids. Recently the Rota Vicentina has been installed, an unbelievable experience for trekking minded people. The trail that runs right through us goes for 100's of kilometers over the coast line and partly inland as well. Whether you're looking for rest, nature or an acivity holiday this is the right spot. Other things to note: We recycle our glass, plastic, paper, metal and food and, because we produce our own renewable energy, we operate with a very low carbon output and minimal waste. And since we acquire most of our energy from the sun, our supply is limited to what nature gives us. As well as staying in accommodation full of natural materials, you will get to enjoy a 100% ecological holiday experience. Not only does the resort harness its energy from sun and wind, but we also source our own water, treat our own drainage and produce a lot of our own food. The retreat features a biodynamic farm which creates great natural produce for you to enjoy, if you so wish, and we have lots of delicious, home-made products available to you. The farm contains various animals; we have chickens, ducks, cats, dogs and donkeys, that all play their part in helping us sustain this rewarding lifestyle both the committed co-workers and the domestic companions. We love animals, however we should ask that you do not bring pets which might harass or harm our free-roaming ducks, chickens, donkeys, cats, dogs and small children. When bringing an animal we always prefer to have a chat over the phone to talk things through. On the property dogs always need to be on a leash. We organize yoga lessons 2 times per week and professional massages on request.
